This primordial world is not serious!

The deans of various academies were curious about it, so they casually calculated.

Then, everyone was surprised to find that they couldn't calculate any information!

Even the author of "Demon Emperor's Growth Story"—Wu Gang, couldn't be figured out at all.

It's as if All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds have no such person.

"Hiss, who on earth is courting death?"

Each of the deans had their share of grand storms and pleasures.

Even if they didn't know the Heavenly Emperor's plan, they responded, realizing that it might be some Holy one causing trouble.

"Who is behind all this?"

Some deans gathered together to predict the future, but they couldn't calculate much useful information.

That's because thirteen Ancestor Witches jointly shielded all Heavenly Secrets about the sources and the creative teams behind various storybooks.

Some pleasure gods even muddied the water, writing related storybooks with a mindset of "stirring things up," which the Ancestor Witches also protected.

How could they succeed in tracing back?

When the Witch Clan's massive "Demon Clan" concept creation and propaganda offensive, like a wildfire, began to quietly spread among the lower creatures and mid-level forces of the Primordial World through various secret channels,

Taiyi, who was in the center of power of the Taiwei Heavenly Court, was not as overwhelmed or thunderously angry as the outside world imagined.

He simply sat quietly on the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, looking deeply at the analysis of rumors about the "Demon Clan" urgently reported by Kunpeng on the Star Network.

There was not a trace of anger on his face, instead, he showed a slightly intriguing and teasing smile.

"Demons, false creations of gods? Haha, interesting, truly interesting."

Taiyi gently tapped the armrest of the throne, emitting a subtle laugh.

He knew well that the person behind it appeared to be simply "stigmatization" and "public opinion defamation," but in fact, it was a smart political struggle tactic directly targeting the foundation and legitimacy of his "Divine Clan" plan.

However, for Taiyi, isn't this also a great opportunity?

"Convey my decree to convene all Upper Venerables, the six directors of the Heavenly Dao Committee, and the selected candidates for the 'Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' of the Divine Clan for an emergency expanded meeting in the Heavenly Emperor Palace three days later, to discuss... the grand plan of 'Discerning Gods and Demons'!"

Taiyi's voice, calm yet authoritative, instantly spread throughout the Taiwei Heavenly Court.

Three days later, in the Heavenly Emperor Palace, divine lights were shining, and Dao rhythms were flowing.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fu Xi, Taiyi, Shao Hao, Fusang Emperor, Emperor Zhenwu, Xi He, and other top giants of the Primordial were all gathered, each with different expressions, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor.

When Taiyi, dressed in the Profound Gold Emperor Robe, gracefully walked onto the Heavenly Emperor's Throne, he did not rush to speak but first slowly swept his gaze over each Holy one present.

He also saw ten youthful figures like the rising sun.

The Fusang Emperor sat excitedly at the moment.

"Father, what do you call us for?" The youths' bright eyes opened crisply.

Xi He was instantly wide-eyed at hearing this.

What?

What did they just call?

[Ignore him!] Taiyi's mouth twitched slightly, transmitting to Xi He.

He then spoke, his voice bright as a bell, directly getting to the point:

"Fellow Daoists, surely you've heard the recent rumors about the so-called 'Demon Clan,' 'Demon Sect,' and 'Demon Emperor'?"

"The reason I gathered everyone here today is to hear what insights you have on this matter."

Inside the hall, there was a brief silence.

[Ying Huo Venerable] Yuan Huang was the first to speak, breaking the silence: "Your Majesty! In my opinion, there must be Witch Clan meddling behind this!"

"That scoundrel Zhu Rong just confronted Your Majesty with disrespectful words, and immediately these rumors about the 'Demon Clan' are rampant. His heart is punishable, his actions despicable! It's simply outrageous!"

"I implore Your Majesty to immediately deploy Heavenly Soldiers to Buzhou Mountain to severely punish the Witch Clan, to restore order and set an example!"

However, in response to Yuan Huang's inflammatory behavior, Taiyi gently shook his head, rejecting Yuan Huang's proposal:

"Daoist Yuan Huang, please calm down."

"The Witch Clan, born from Pangu's bloodline, has great influence and is deeply favored by the Qi Fortune of the Primordial Land. Without conclusive evidence, acting rashly based only on rumors might not be wise and could backfire, giving them the upper hand."

"Then... Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?" Yuan Huang asked.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's lips curled into an enigmatic smile. He didn't directly answer but instead turned his gaze towards Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones.

"Nuwa Daoist, Three Venerates, how do you perceive this 'demon' character?" Nuwa's heart mildly felt cautious, knowing Taiyi was "calling upon" her and the others.

She pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Demons, originally meant unusual and bizarre entities."

"It refers to those imitating holiness but lacking its true essence, fake inferior existences."

"The schemers behind use this interpretation to slander Your Majesty's proposed 'Divine Clan' as 'Demon Clan,' showing their malicious intent clearly."

"They intend to fundamentally shake the legitimacy and holiness of establishing the 'Divine Clan.'"

Nuwa's analysis was penetrating and spot-on.

Xuanqing also stroked the Jade Ruyi, supplementing: "Not only that. The 'demon' character also suggests bewildering and alluring meanings.
